: I just scanned the article referenced on Ms. Kaplan's site.....
: Two quick things jumped up at me.... It was stated that the Ca:P ratio of kale is 3:1... Someone check my math but, according to the USDA site, the raatio is only slightly more than 2:1...

The prefered calcium:phosphorous range for greens is 2:1 or greater which Kale has, in addition to a very low oxalate level. To fixate on whether it is 2.4:1 or 2.9:1 or even 3:1 is really starting to split hairs!

: Also, looking at the studies referenced in that article, the dates range from 1994 all the way back to 1982... Definitely no longer reliable information when it comes to reptiles IMO....

If you can reference any more recent info on this topic from a respected source I would be very interested to read it. I seem to be the only one offering evidence here rather then unsubstantiatied opinion.
